 A researcher from University of Indonesia, Mr. Aryana Satrya visited Japan from last December to January, to conduct a research over Japanese trade unions. He got a scholarship from The Hitachi Foundation for his research.



Mr. Aryana had worked for more than 12 years at a telecommunication company in Indonesia where he also has an experience serving as a general secretary at the trade union whose superior body ASPEK affiliates to UNI.



He is now a lecturer at the department of Management, Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Indonesia and he teaches at many courses including history of labour, human resource management, theory of organizational behaviour and industrial relations.



The main purpose of his stay in Japan was to research over the actual situation of Japanese trade unions and their challenges, especially the partnership industrial relations and organizing of non-regular workers.

He visited following UNI affiliates and conducted interviews; JSD, JAW, FNIU, ZENINSATSU, JPGU, UI ZENSEN and ICTJ.



Apart from UNI affiliates, he visited academics at some universities such as University of Tokyo and Waseda University, who specialize in industrial relations and labour issues. He also visited labour related organization including JILAF and JILPT as well as several community unions.



Having a lot in common with the goal of UNI-LCJ in the effort to realize partnership industrial relations, Mr. Aryana’s research interviews with UNI affiliates were highly meaningful. It is greatly expected that the outcome of his study would fully benefit Indonesian labour movement in the future.
